Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Feeders
Here's a cracking crested tit I photographed in the woods at Nethybridge.

Caught up with a small flock of Linnets, watched the in-house squabbles as they jostled for the best position on the wall. Spring is definitely in the air. #scottishbirds #linnets #birdingscotland
Gawd I'm like a toddler at Christmas when I see the GS Woodpecker on the peanut feeder.

Found another 2 Tundra Beans today with 300 plus pinks at The Meetings between Carnwath and Libberton. Also despite sifting through many 1000's of geese all season only my 1st neck collared pin. @clydesoc-grapevine.bsky.social #Scottishbirds #Clydebirds @waterbirdcm.bsky.social

Quick walk round Lanark Loch this morning produced 2 BHG darvics only my 2nd and 3rd of the winter at this location, ringed birds way down this year. Red ring is a local Clyde RG bird but blue one looks to be Polish. @clydesoc-grapevine.bsky.social #Scottishbirds #Clydebirds
Today’s WBD seemed to catching plenty of food items this afternoon- mainly small flatfish by the looks of things. The Great Black-backed Gulls were very attentive - though I don’t think they were successful in stealing any prey. I was glad to see it feeding well given the situation #scottishbirds

For the past week or so have spent many hours looking for this bird during the recent cold spell.
After spending a few hours yesterday decided to give it a miss today.

Rattray can be a good place for some of the more common migrants. Pied and spotted fly are both regulars. Male pied flys are superb to watch. These 2 were present in spring 2023 #Scottishbirds #birdwatching #Rattray

I had a brilliant weekend & I love it when good live music & good birds combine. On Friday, I managed to get to St Andrews for a White-billed Diver (a new Fife bird for me). Today, there were several Pomarine Skuas in Inverkeithing Bay. 😃

An unsually high number (9) of adult mute swans at on Seafield Pond, #BelhavenBay yesterday. The resident cob was trying to maintain his territory - puffing up his wings as he chased down on the incomers.

George & I had a grand visit to Angle Park in N/E Fife this afternoon. I was happy to see Simon Pinder's 1st winter Caspian Gull amongst the large gull flock. On our walk, we saw lots of Fungus & several Common Darter dragonflies.
